Specific characteristics of the Module
Course unit contents:
|
1) Basics of binary arithmetic: conversion methods, fundamental operators, codes (Gray, BCD, ASCII). Boolean algebra: truth tables, fundamental logic functions (AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, XNOR), consensus and De Morgan theorems.
2) Design of combinational logic function using Karnaugh maps. Minimization methods. Examples of fundamental combinational functions: decoder, encoder, multiplexer, adders, comparators.
3) Basic sequential circuits (latches, flip-flops). Design of sequential logic circuits. Fundamental synchronous and asynchronous sequential systems (counters and shift registers). Programmable logic circuits (CPLD, FPGA).
4) CMOS technology fundamentals: logic levels; noise margins; static and dynamic power dissipation; propagation delay; complex logic gates.
5) Solid state memory technology: SRAM, DRAM and EEPROM. |
Planned learning activities and teaching methods:
|
Lectures and exercises. |
Additional notes about suggested reading:
|
Classes are based on the adopted book.
The books "Circuiti integrati digitali" (J. Rabaey, A. Chandrakasan, B. Nikolic.) and "Microelettronica" (Jaeger, Blalock) are used only to support the lectures on CMOS technologies and circuit implementation. |
